It draws on the testimonies of 102 women working across broadcast, print, and digital media, revealing patterns of Islamophobia, stereotyping, and professional marginalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Among the most alarming findings: 85% of respondents said they had considered leaving the media industry due to the coverage of Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, while 86% reported a decline in their mental health as a result.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Findings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>92% said negative views about Islam and Muslims are embedded within media organisations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>72% experienced direct discrimination linked to their Muslim identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>86% said coverage of the Gaza war negatively impacted their mental health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>85% questioned their future in media following October 7th reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>60% have considered leaving the industry altogether<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>81% believe Muslim women are unfairly represented in the media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>35% are dissatisfied with their roles, citing tokenism and lack of progress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 90% said negative attitudes towards Muslims were embedded within media organisations. The report describes Muslim women being treated as token hires for diversity optics, then excluded from editorial decision-making and advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gaza war emerged as a \u201cbreaking point\u201d for many, with several women recounting how expressing empathy with Palestinians or raising concerns over biased coverage led to isolation, silencing or threats to job security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One respondent described feeling \u201cashamed to be a journalist,\u201d while another said newsroom narratives were \u201cstraight out of the Israeli army playbook.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hijab-wearing journalists reported heightened scrutiny, with visible Muslim identity often being conflated with political bias. One said: \u201cI face Islamophobia every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newsroom doesn\u2019t feel safe.\u201d Women described being hired to source \u201cdiverse\u201d voices but denied permanent roles or promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others said they were limited to reporting on so-called \u201cMuslim stories\u201d with little agency over content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report finds that diversity rhetoric within the media often masks systemic exclusion. \u201cRepresentation isn\u2019t enough,\u201d said Mehreen Khan, Economics Editor at The Times. \u201cThe real issue is retention. Getting Muslim journalists into decision-making roles &#8211; that\u2019s the test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 60% of respondents said they were actively considering leaving journalism. Many described suffering from burnout, anxiety and stalled careers. A majority felt they were being asked to \u201cblend in\u201d or downplay their identity to survive professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Centre for Media Monitoring warns that British journalism is facing a retention crisis. It calls for urgent structural reform: equitable pay, editorial inclusion, formal protections during political crises, and mental health support, to prevent the further loss of Muslim women from the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis report is both a warning and a roadmap,\u201d said CfMM director Rizwana Hamid. \u201cIf the media wants to reflect the society it claims to serve, it must not only include Muslim women, but empower them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A major new report has exposed the scale of discrimination, exclusion and emotional distress experienced by Muslim women working across the British media industry, with many considering leaving the sector entirely.
